Day 4. Very itchy and very bitchy :) . I'm sick of vaseline and my face is very itchy. I started taking children's benedryl to take the edge off the itchiness - this is the only way for me to get the benefits of benedryl without falling instantly asleep. Skin flakes everywhere (gross!). Redness going down. NO pain.

Day 3. Still no pain. Started the vinegar rinses recommended by the doctor's office. I am like, so over the vaseline. There are vaseline fingerprints all over my house, lol. The skin feels very tight and itchy around by mouth, nose, and chin and feel I'm one hearty yawn away from peeling.

Day 2 - No pain, maybe a little bit of itchiness around my mouth. Super red. Looks painful but isn't. I spoke to the doctor's office today and they are thinking the numbing cream did not work on me properly, which would explain the amount of pain I was in during the procedure. I laid in a chair with the numbing cream on before the procedure for an hour and before they began they wiped my face with a warm towel. On the phone today it was revealed I shouldn't have felt the warm towel on my face but I had.
